When it was announced that Justin Bieber will be hosting his Justice Tour Concert in Malaysia this October, Malaysian Beliebers went wild.

One opportunistic Malaysian even tried to jump on the hype to promote his religious class, but unfortunately for him, it did not sit right with his followers.
“Spend your money wisely”
Twitter user Iddin Ramli shared the video with a caption critisizing how people are “lazy” to commit to religion, even with the month of Ramadan coming up in just a few days.
Untuk dunia ramai sanggup buat apa sahaja. Untuk agama kadang kita leka. Pula Ramadhan lagi beberapa hari saja tapi kita masih belum bersedia. pic.twitter.com/vTZ4yUXM27

In the video, he explains that Justin Bieber’s one-day concert in Malaysia, with ticket prices ranging from RM288 to RM2,088, is likely to sell out immediately.
It will sell out too. Even RM2,088 is cheap for people who are interested in these things.

He then compares it to the religious class “30 Days With Quran” that he is hosting during the month of Ramadan, saying that that has not sold out.
It’s cheap too, only RM1.70 per day.

He goes on to say that it’s such a good deal as he provides free gifts such as notebooks, Ramadan planners, and a chance to win an iPhone, all for a low price of RM50.
He ends the video seemingly disappointed, saying that people must not care about learning about religious values, because even such an attractive price can’t get people to sign up for the class.
Netizens aren’t having it
Iddin Ramli’s post ended up rubbing netizens the wrong way, with many people saying that his guilt-tripping was done in bad taste.
stop guilt tripping muslims, this is not you😣🙏🏻

Pendapat saya video ni adalah cubaan untuk guilt-trip people.

Boleh je marketing dengan menggunakan positive info yang eye catching tanpa comparing two different things.
Be better.
Others said that he should relearn his marketing strategy instead.
How? Because they make a good marketing strategy and they know how to approach people to attend their event. The way you do seem like you judging other people. Now people have doubts on you. Are you do this just because want to be famous or you really want to preaching.

Even more raised the fact that those who would be interested in the Justin Bieber would be more than just Muslims.
Salam abg iddin, saya nak tanya majoriti yang akan beli ticket concert bieber ni 100% semua orang islam ke ? Tanya je and saya rasa untuk membuat perbandingan concert & your taddabur class sangat la tidak patut sebenarnya. Again, tak semua pergi concert adalah semua orang islam.

Shockingly enough, it turns out that people can be interested in both Justin Bieber and their religious learnings, because the two are not mutually exclusive interests.
Additionally, while Justin Bieber’s concert tickets go on sale on 31 March, the concert itself will only be held on 22 October.
